Music Endorsement

The Master of Arts in Teaching Fifth-Year Licensure Program for music teachers is designed for students with highly developed musical skills, an undergraduate degree in music (or in another discipline with extensive coursework and experience in music), and an interest in and aptitude for working with children. The program of study leads to an Initial Teaching License at the middle and high school levels (grades 5-12) and eventually to a master of arts in teaching degree.

A minimum of 29 semester hours of coursework is required for recommendation to Oregon's TSPC for the Initial Teaching License. A total of 6 semester hours of music electives and 4 semester hours of graduate Core Program courses are required for the M.A.T. degree. Degree requirements must be completed within five years of admission.

Note: Upon admission, students must consult with the music adviser to design an appropriate course of study, including the sequence of courses they will take, and to discuss subject-area electives.
